His Herd Increased Too Fast.
Nau- Tork SIM

The son Of prominent man in public
life has just returned to Washington from
a years experience in the cattle business
in Utah. az raised q company here,
mainly among my friends, and we invested
$4,000. It took $4,000 of that to buy
our range, $4,000 to get me out there and
buy our outfit, and the rest we put into
cattle and xperses-principall expenses.
My cattlemen got into a row with a
neighbor and his men ran our cattle down
into the canons Then our foreman took
it into his head to sue US for his psy, and
although had made an excellent report
to the company, somehow things went
wrong. My report stated that We had
enjoyed an increase in cur herd of 120
per cent. and that was the case. | don't
know that any Of our men stole any calves
from our neighbors. l don't know that
our COWS had more than one calf apiece,
but somehow we found on our roundup
that We had 100 per cent. increase. This
i what broke US up. Cattlemen are used
to so and 80, and in rare cases 100 per
cent. increase, but they could not stand
l2O. The cattle association in that dis
trict held a meeting and passed resolu-
tions that it was i'm jossible for any herd
to increase at such rapid rate, and call
ing upon the Delegate in Congress from
Utah TO investigate the case, wound up by
giving me three days. time to get of the
territory. l am now going down to pass
civil service examination"

GarIand's Simplicity,

Washington Letter to the Cleveland Leader
A visitor to his humble home out Four
teenth street, would find himself suddenly
transported to some farmers domicile.
1t is q two-story frame cottage which he
lives in, located close to market where
the farmers and the butchers bring in
their products to sell to the people. In
the little room which the Attorney Gen
eral uses as his library or study, and
where he receives his visitors, the furni-
ture consists of deal table, an old-fash-
toned rocking chair, and one or two ether
chairs of little value, unless the sole
object be to furnish seat for the weary
sOjOurner which will not break down
under his weight. On some plain shelly
ine, and around on the floor of the room
are stored the law books of the host, this
apparently being the extent Of his library.
soap box contributed by the grocer
serves for the storage of coal used in
keeping up the fire.
The Attorney General does not live thus
plainly for temporary effect among his
own people, but has always done so. He
has repeatedly refused to don 6 dress
coat OF attend a reception of any kind.
He even absented himself from the PTesi-
dents wedding, rather than mix in any
thing that savored of yielding to the eX-
actions Of society.

THE Ogden Daily Herald makes til

THE Ogden Daily Herald makes the
Four Railway Prophecies:
First. The Salt Lake and Eastern
Railway will be commenced at Ogden
surely not later than the first day of
next April and probably as early as
the fifteenth day of next month. Ii
will proceed through Ogden Canon,
thence over the summit and across
the richest coal fields of America
and on to the River, making connec-
tions from Ogden to Chicago, by a
route 200 miles nearer than the short
est now existing. Eighteen months
from the date of beginning work will
see the line completed from the juno
ton to the River. Two years at most
will therefore give operation to the
line.
Second. The Salt Lake and Los
Angeles road will not be built along
the present proposed route. The coun-
try is absolutely devoid of sustaining
power; the agricultural interests are
insignificant and the mines are work
ed out. A far better line would be
through Northern Utah, Southern
Idaho, down the Snake Valley, across
the productive and settled country
to Sacramento probably, and thence
to any point desired on the coast.
Third. The union depot at Ogden
will be erected upon all or part of the
present foundation within a year.
Fourth. The A. 7. and s. F. will
bring the Midland to the Colorado line
Joining there with the D. and r. G..
W., it will lay third rail to Ogden;
and then, best of all finding the odd
rail project few feet toward the
North, the A. 7. IS. F. will accept
the hint and run a feeder into the
Wood river country.

DEMOCRATIC ADMINISTRATION.

This Democratic Administration,
says the st. Louis Republican, has done
some things that its Republican pre-
decessors never attempted, nor even
thought Of 1t landed a force of
marines on the Isthmus of Panama
to protect American property during
a revolutionary outbreak, and, in do
ing so gave the first suggestion of a
vigorous and determined foreign pol
icy that we have had for twenty-five
years. 1t reversed the public lands
policy of five successive Republican
Administration "a policy in the in
terest of railroad companies, cattle
corporations and alien claimants-and
inaugurated the new and better policy
of retaining the public land for ac-
tual homestead settlers. These dis
tinctive Democratic measures the Re
publican conventions take no notice
of. They pass over the improved COM
mercial and industrial condition of
the country, SO marked in its contrast
with the dismal depression that pre-
vailed for three years before Presi-
dent Cleveland entered office, and they
likewise leave unmentioned the pru-
dent management of the public finan-
,es, the large payments on the public
lebt and the vigorous prosecution Of

The Women In The Case.

A reporter has ELECTED from Mrs.
Black the statement that if the Chiea-
go Anarchists are hanged their wives
will kill their children and then COM
init suicide. Mrs Black then pro
ceeds to explain what loss such a
slaughter would be to the community:
Mrs. Spies, colorless, dimpled,
statuesque beauty, with deep-set dark
blue eyes, should die first, if appear
ance go for much, but as she is child
less she has but little to give to the
good cause.
Mrs. Lucy Parsons, who is very
graceful in her movements, has the
hand and complexion of a quadroon
and is courageous, eloquent and an
effectionate mother, has two attractive
children to immediate.
Mrs. Engel, a quiet, unobrusive
little woman of So, who is fond of
home and simplicity, has the hardest
duty of all to perform, as her seven
children are all grown and will deci-
dedly object to being sacrificed.
Mrs. Fischer, only 10, is a lovely
brunette with melting black eyes, but
has three little children ready to be
murdered.
Mrs, Schwab, who used to carry the
red flag in the professions, is childless
and must be content to die alone.
Mrs. Fielden isn't bit pretty but
has a very pathetic appearance, and
can contribute a number of infants to
the holocaust.
Mrs. Nebe is already dead. Lingg
is unmarried, and it is not supposed
that the ''beautiful and wealthy young
girl In love with him" will feel called
upon to kill herself
Mrs. Black is the wife of the law
yer who has worked so hard to save
the necks of the Anarchists. She does
not state what her own programme
will be, if her husbands efforts fail,
but if she receives one 1.-THE of her
deserts she should at least be tongue
tied for the rest of her natural life.
1t is a terrible vengeance that the
law is about to take. The sense of
the community, though deeply i'm
pressed by the solemnity of the doom
that awaits seven human beings, is
thoroughly imbued with the justice of
the sentence. We are in no mood to
listen to ribald threats and idle pratt
tie of foolish women.
Had Mrs. Black a particle of that
profound sympathy and compassion
which she processes for the families
of the condemned, she would find her
true mission in preparing them for the
awful ordeal that awaits them, instead
of trying to incite them to still wilder
and more horrible acts of revenge
